    You haven't done your homework in CCS either. There is only one class in Heavy weight twins.

    CCS you can run Heavy weight twins, Heavy weight superbike, Heavy weight super sport, GTO, Unlimited GP, and Unlimited Super Sport.

    WERA is slightly different in their naming of classes.

    Too bad you are not in CMRA they just got some new classes and the 04 RSV is dominating them.
    Hell Ted and the boys picked up another one after retiring the old RSV a couple years ago.

    I think they call them Modern Classics Class.

    So he is racing the 999's and the 749's.

    have a twin

    It's not an Aprilia, but i've had my 00 TLR for 12 years, street, CMRA race, and track days here in Texas.It's been raced in A and B Superbike, Heavyweight Twins, Formula somethingorother, and is now eligable for Vintage lol i have also endurance raced a ZX-6 with a couple friends on the same weekend I sprint the mighty TLR . The upside to a old heavy twin is having 2 gears to choose from most of the time, that torque is awesome to have, miss a shift on a 600 and you are screwed lol Gotta keep that ZX6 above 11000 all the time. Wrestling a big heavy bike means you need to be in shape, use the bikes strengths and you can be a competitive club racer on one even now. But it def takes more work. But technology def marches on... the new 600's are more nimble than our twins can hope for and the 1098-1198 ducs kill us on the straights, but it still comes down to the rider..., I've left many a newer bike behind me. Make no mistake-i don't podium anymore but if i can manage respectable times on the tiller... , if you choose your priller you may just enjoy being a bit different from the rest, and anyone you beat-shame on them !
